Americans' distrust of the media has reached an all-time high with perception of liberal bias far more prevalent than that of conservative bias.

The Gallup organization, which annually conducts a poll that measures the public's feeling about the media, reports that this is the fourth year in a row in which a large majority of Americans say they have little or no trust in the media "to report news fully, accurately and fairly."

It's not difficult these days to tell where the interests of the media lie.

Last week media types were ganging up on their latest favorite target, Paul LePage, over whether he was trying to cheat the taxpayers out of about $191. If that's an accurate figure this was much tempestuous media ado about very little indeed.
